The performances will feature 10 Minute, One Act, and a Full Length Plays and will run, on average 2.5 hours with intermission.

True Repertory Theatre has been a strong supporter of new plays and has successfully mounted full productions of three past play-reading submissions. True Rep has toured Ellen’s Boys, by James Sullivan, across Massachusetts and enjoyed a successful two week engagement at the West End Theatre in Manhattan in June of 2025. Lifers by Maureen Cornell and John Shea, will be remounted this February as an interactive dinner theatre experience.  

​

“We are ardent believers that new plays are critical to the longevity of theatre,” said Artistic Director, Donald Sheehan, adding, “They bring awareness to local talent and introduce new and diverse narratives that help to foster an equitable society.”

“This is a wonderful opportunity for audiences to engage with new work and give us their opinion on possible future productions,” said Assoc. Artistic Director, Victoria Bond.
